Eric’s Bad Movies needs suggestions!

It is time once again to solicit suggestions for Eric’s Bad Movies at Film.com. There are far too many bad movies out there for me to keep track of them all, and you guys gave some terrific suggestions last time I asked. I used a bunch of them!

Below is a list of what I’ve already covered. Do not suggest any of these movies or everyone will think you weren’t paying attention. Beyond that, these are the basic criteria (which of course I reserve the right to violate at any time):

2. It should be universally regarded as bad, not a movie that most people like that you happen to hate. You might personally think “Titanic” is an awful, awful film, but you must realize that this is far from the majority opinion, and thus it is not a suitable film for Eric’s Bad Movies. “Anaconda,” though — everyone can agree on that.

3. It must have been released theatrically — no straight-to-video or TV movies — and it should be one that people will have at least heard of, if not seen. It’s more fun that way. Avoid the obscure.

4. If I wrote a regular review of it when it came out, skip it. A good rule of thumb: If it was released in the 2000s, there’s about a 99 percent chance I already reviewed it. The notable exceptions were “Glitter” and “The Adventures of Pluto Nash,” and I already got ’em.

5. I won’t say no comedies, but keep in mind that comedies are very, very hard to make fun of. They already don’t take themselves seriously, so all you can really say is, “Boy, this movie sure isn’t funny!” A bad adventure, drama, or horror movie, however, lends itself to plenty of ridicule.

6. As a preemptive measure, let me mention that “Howard the Duck” and Vanilla Ice’s “Cool As Ice” are not available on DVD and won’t appear in Eric’s Bad Movies until they are.
